where to find automation button in Session View? Live 8

Greetings Everyone -

I apologize for this most basic of questions but I am truly stumped: I am in LIVE 8, Session View- seeking to understand how I can record MIDI CLIP automation in Real Time. Normal recording does not capture controller movements in MIDI clips for me unless I am in Arrangement, and have the master Record button enabled.

In Session - . I think I understand I have to enable a Record Automation button which is located at the far right of the Transport window, but in that position all that I have is a Draw button (a pencil) - not the Automation icon that is pictured in the HELP index here in this section of the site.

If anyone can tell me what it is I am missing, and how to record MIDI Clip automation in realtime (things like sustain pedal of the synthesizer device) in Session View, I deeply appreciate it, thanks very much for your time and help,

In Live 8 you can only record midi automation in arrangement view.The buttons you are referring to are available in Live 9, not in Live 8.
